Each to his own, I know. But what do you expect from a Dis-band making it "very special". Nine-minute Malmsteen solos? The whole style is pretty limited and so I don't expect anything musically ground-breaking.

Not what I mean at all. I listen to a ton of bands that aren't musically ground-breaking. But what they still have is something almost intangible - commitment, passion, atmosphere, all that rot - that elevates them above twenty other similar-sounding bands. I don't find it in Dishammer - at least not yet - though I've given them a try three or four times. Maybe I'll find it eventually however; I do try to keep an open mind.

Dale, try listening to music without psychoanalyzing it. It's a lot more fun.

The preceding comments are me trying to express in words why this band isn't doing much for me. I guess I coulda just said "don't like 'em," but then I really wouldn't be adding much to this thread. I also find that music conversations that are just people saying "Yeah they rock!" and "No, they suck!" bore the hell out of me.

I'm surprised to hear you say this considering how much you complain about new death metal bands. One would think you would just listen to it and enjoy it, since that would be more 'fun' than complaining that they don't sound original.

It's very possible to listen to music in more than one way, by the way. Even at the same time! It's awesome.

That was quick... looks like the die-hard is already gone. Glad I got my order in on time!_________________THINGS THAT WILL BE DELETED:

There is absolutely nothing wrong with raw and dirty violence in music form, even if it is a "cliche" or unoriginal. Nothing to go nuts over, but good for drunken nights and ringing eardrums._________________"Great men are like eagles, and build their nest on some lofty solitude." - Schopenhauer
